Can you be in the environmentalist field and not have experience? If so, doing what?

Question

I don't have any experience what-so-ever with this field, as mentioned in my above question. How would I get started and where? I'm interested in it and am not sure where to begin!!

Answer 1

Sure!  The oil companies will hire you as their spokesman to tell everyone how not all scientists agree on global warming.

Answer 2

Experience doing what? And doing what in the environmental field?

Can you roll up to a major university's biological sciences department and ask for a job without so much as a high school diploma? No, of course not.

Can an indigenous dweller of a country in the global south employ permaculture and sustainable agricultural practices with a degree in environmental studies or agriculture? Of course!

Be specific. :)
